NEW FEATURES

Netflix Viewability and Invalid Traffic Measurement

Netflix and IAS have joined forces to provide transparency into how advertisers' campaigns perform with Viewability and Invalid Traffic (IVT) verification on Netflix. Our partnership will allow customers to validate the quality of CTV and OTT media buys by ensuring ads are seen by real viewers in a premium environment with our easy-to-use reporting solution. IAS’s verification for Netflix is available across all platforms – connected televisions, computers, and mobile - in all of the 12 Netflix ad-supported countries (US, Canada, UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, South Korea, and Japan).

See full press release here! If you are interested in testing this new solution, we encourage you to reach out to your Xandr representative, or we would be happy to put you in touch.

Fully On-Screen & Content-level Transparent CTV Pre-Bid Segments are now on Xandr!

Two new IAS CTV pre-bid segments are now available on Xandr:

• Fully On-Screen, to target inventory from CTV apps that IAS tested and validated for Renderability - meaning that ads stop playing when the TV screen is off

• Content-level Transparent, to target inventory from CTV publishers that opted-in to share Channel & Content-level data for post-bid reporting on the IAS Advanced CTV UI

This optimization product helps marketers programmatically address viewability and transparency challenges when buying CTV. Both segments currently give access to mostly US inventory as we expand coverage to other markets in 2023 and beyond. To utilize the IAS CTV optimization within Xandr, simply select the segments by choosing from the list by searching “IAS: CTV”:
